McCain Reality Check… “Military Personnel Support Obama 6-1″
August 15, 2008
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Some of you may have read the piece I put together yesterday regarding Republican candidate John McCain’s growing problems with military personnel, both active and retired. Well it turns out that it may be worse then even I though - and there are numbers to prove it. As this mornings papers rolled out, we began seeing headline after headline focusing on the Military and their overwhelming support for Senator Barack Obama, with money to prove the statement, which otherwise would be understandably laughable.
Phew! The U.S. “Terrorist Watch List” Surpasses the 1 Million Mark: I Finally Feel Safe…
July 14, 2008
Don’t look know but the United States “terrorist” watch list has surpassed the one million mark. The idea behind the whole “terrorist watch list” is put together by the Terrorist Screening Center (TSC), which was born out of the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 6 back in December of 2003. The most recent audit released by TSC officials shows that the “terrorist watch list” has been growing steadily at about 20,000 plus new names added per month - an extreme growth rate by any standard.
Nine U.S. Soldiers Killed in Large Scale Attack in Afghanistan
July 13, 2008
KABUL, Afghanistan - A multi-pronged militant assault on a small, remote U.S. base killed nine American soldiers Sunday in one of the deadliest attacks on U.S. troops since the 2001 invasion, a Western official said. Militants fired machine guns, rocket-propelled grenades and mortars from homes and a mosque in the village of Wanat in the northeastern province of Kunar, a mountainous region that borders Pakistan, NATO’s International Security Assistance Force said in a statement.
Allan Colmes Shreds Karl Rove Over Gitmo: The Aftermath Includes Tears & Tantrum
July 4, 2008
Watch FOX’s Allan Colmes, one half of the widely popular “Hannity and Colmes” teach Karl Rove a lesson as though he was a dog who just peed on the new carpet. Personally I have always liked Colmes, and given the circumstances he is forced to work under night after night (the unfair balance of “liberal” and “conservative” guests, amongst many other improprieties), I don’t think he gets close to the credit he deserves for being the ONLY democrat minded talent on all of the FOX News network. ensue
Little baby Rove becomes so disgruntled that not only does he fail to make anything resembling a valid point, but also throws a temper tantrum which sheds a little light on how this guy really works in real life - ya know, when not in front of a camera, or standing next to the President during a photo op.
Here’s the video, hope ya enjoy it as much as I did:
Bush’s “War on Terror”: As Fighting Drags on in Iraq, Al Qaeda Flourishes in Algeria, Somalia & Pakistan
July 3, 2008
From time to time I find myself wondering why the United States, for the most part, let Osama Bin Laden, the terrorist who killed thousands of innocent American’s on September the 11th (yes I said solely, Iraq had NOTHING to do with it) get away with his atrocities scott free. Obviously we were willing to send hundreds of thousands of troops into the middle east, so why exactly wouldn’t we focus our “war on terror” efforts you know - on the terrorist who actually attacked us?
Obama Outraising McCain Among Military Personnel
July 1, 2008
WASHINGTON, DC - Brandon Ziegler served two tours in Iraq and wears a bracelet inscribed with the name of an Army buddy who never made it home. Jim Morin saw action in both Iraq and Afghanistan and has lost several friends to the war in Iraq, the latest just a month ago. Both say their choice in the 2008 presidential election is clear: For Ziegler, it will be John McCain; for Morin, it will be Barack Obama.
“New Yorker” Article Reveals that the U.S. Military is Conducting Operations Inside Iran *Video*
June 29, 2008
The upcoming July edition of the New Yorker features an article penned by Seymour Hersh that chronicles the “not so secretive” clandestine military operations currently taking place in Iran at the hands of United States military forces - which in every possible scenario is at the minimum a foreshadowing of a looming military conflict between Iraq’s neighbor, and the United States. Apparently special operations forces have been conducting cross-border operations launched from southern Iraq, with Presidential authorization, since sometime last year.
Susan Rice Makes Scarborough & Gregory Look Silly: However Their Debate Raises a Bigger Issue…
June 28, 2008
Susan Rice, one of Barack Obama’s Chief Foreign Policy Advisers, was a guest on Friday mornings “Morning Joe”, and was brought in to discuss North Korea, and the general “war on terror”. What makes this clip so intriguing is that Rice manages to absolutely steam roll both Scarborough, and David Gregory (who was also involved) The “tit for tat” political debate, focused mainly on North Korea’s destruction of a long-defunct nuclear cooling tower, which took place earlier that morning morning.
Good Lord… Could You Imagine if this was a Democrat, Let Alone Obama…
June 27, 2008
The picture you see above features President Bush, with Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheik Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, as part of the ” warm welcoming” the Prince recived upon his arrival at Camp David, yesterday. I point this out for a couple different reasons, the main one being that right wing blowhards absolutely pounce on Barack Obama if he as much as mentions a Muslim nation, yet, at you can see above, it’s A-OK when President Bush greets the guy with open arms.
Glenn Beck on the Supreme Courts ‘Gitmo’ Ruling:”I Would Just Shoot them in the Head”
June 27, 2008
Yesterday, during his radio program, CNN’s version of Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck successfully illustrated for us - once again - just how demented and obnoxiously archaic his train of thought really is. This is not the first time Beck has showed us his fascist stripes. Beck’s gleaming example of “pure ignorance” came during one of his infamous, “migraine inducing” rants, which apparently covered his disdain for the recent Supreme Court’s recent ruling which grants terror suspects being held as prisoners of war, the right to challenge their detention in civilian courts.
